Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup cilantro
  • ¼ cup parsley
  • 2 green onions
  • ¼ cup spinach leaves
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 lemon zested and then cut into wedges
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 8 large shrimp peeled, deveined, tails off
  • iceberg lettuce shredded
  • 2 tablespoons sundried tomato pesto
  • sandwich bread your favorite kind

Instructions
 

  • Combine the herbs, spinach, scallions, garlic, lemon zest, and olive oil in a blender or food processor until very smooth and a thick paste forms. Taste, and add a bit of salt to your preference.
  • Toss the shrimp with 2 tablespoons of the green mixture, and set aside.
  • Combine the rest of the green mixture with the mayonnaise. Taste, and add more salt if needed.
  • Preheat a skillet to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When very hot, add the shrimp and cook until just cooked through, 3 minutes or so on each side.
  • While the shrimp is cooking, broil or toast the bread.
  • To assemble, for each sandwich, spread pesto on one piece of bread and the mayo mixture on the other. Sandwich the bread with the shrimp, lettuce, and a squirt of lemon juice.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Don't toss the stems of your herbs - use them in the puree! They taste great and you'll never know they're there.
